📚 Day 9–10 – Exploring GitHub, HackerRank & “Let Us C”


 Hello readers,

I am Mayur Gund, a first-year Computer Science & Engineering student at Sanjivani College of Engineering. Through Mayur’s Tech Journey, I share my daily progress in coding and reflections on what I learn along the way.


🔗 Git & GitHub Progress

Over the last two days, I focused on learning Git and Git Bash.

  • Successfully committed and uploaded two C programs to my GitHub repository 🚀.

  • Learned how developers use Git to manage and track code.

  • This felt like a big step forward — from just writing programs to actually maintaining them like real projects.


🌟 HackerRank Achievement

Another small but proud milestone 🎉
👉 I earned my first star in C language on HackerRank.
It may look small, but for me, it shows the start of solving problems consistently. Every star represents practice, persistence, and progress.


📖 New Resource: Let Us C

I also came across the famous book “Let Us C” by Yashwant Kanetkar and downloaded the softcopy. I’ve started reading it alongside my coding practice.

  • This will help me strengthen my fundamentals.

  • The book also has exercises that I plan to try in my upcoming coding days.


💡 Reflection

These two days may not have had much coding, but they gave me new tools and new motivation:

  • GitHub made me feel like a real developer.

  • HackerRank motivated me with my first star ⭐.

  • Let Us C reminded me to balance theory + practice.

Excited to continue this journey, combining problem-solving, coding practice, and reading to build strong foundations in C.


✨ Consistency isn’t always about writing code daily — it’s about staying connected to learning every single day.

The Boy Behind the Percentile: A Memory of 12:07 AM

  : Usually, this blog is about C++, Linux, and my journey through the world of technology. But today, I’m putting the code aside. A few days back,our college had a photoshoot with the placed students of this year. Seeing the happiness on their faces brought back a flood of memories. Writing this blog to get my thoughts out. I want to tell you a story about a moment that stays with me every time I walk through my college gate—a moment that defines why I work as hard as I do. The Myth of the "Bright" Student  People see my progress now—the 99.07%tile in PCM, 99.29 in PCB and college topper—and they call me "bright." But I’ll tell you a secret: I was never the bright student in school. I was average. The person you see today wasn't born with talent; I was forged in the fire of 12th grade. I remember the Sankalp (the vow) I took. I remember the late nights, the constant overthinking, and the "love-hate" relationship I had with that life. I was fighting fo...

Hello and welcome back to Mayur's Tech Journey! It’s been a little over a month since my last post, and while I’ve been absent from the blog, I've been anything but idle in my learning. The past few weeks were a whirlwind of exams, but now that they're done, I'm thrilled to dive back into sharing my experiences with you. As a first-year B.Tech CSE student, this journey is all about constant learning and growth, and I have a bunch of exciting updates and technical breakthroughs to share. Let's catch up!  My Recent Achievements : The grind has been real, and I'm proud of the milestones I’ve hit! These achievements truly mark how far I've come CodeChef Streak & Stars: I managed to maintain a 19-day constant streak on CodeChef, demonstrating real consistency. More importantly, I recently achieved my 3rd star in C++ on hackerrank! This shift from just starting to gaining three stars is a huge personal win.

Scholar Desk : The Ego Issue

  🎓 I Built ScholarDesk During My Exam Preparation and It Has 16 Real Users Today Hello everyone! Welcome back to Mayur's Tech Journey. 🚀 Some stories begin with a plan. This one began with an email from a stranger. I want to tell you about ScholarDesk. About how it started as a reaction, turned into a CLI tool running quietly in a terminal, then became a full stack web application, then got deployed live on the internet, and then ended up in the hands of 16 real users who are not engineers, not my teammates, not people who owe me anything. Just real people who found it useful. But before I get to any of that, let me set the scene properly. Because the context is everything here. 📖 The Scene: PL of End Semester Exams Engineering students in Maharashtra know what "PL" feels like. The Preliminary Leave period before end semester exams is supposed to be sacred study time. Notes out. Syllabus open. Revision mode fully activated. I was in that exact period. End sem exams of...
